Subject: \[EXTERNAL\] Permit modification request for Pasquotank #55

Tracey and Garcy,

Albemarle Electric has recently notified NCDOT that the power line would need to be relocated at the Pasquotank Bridge
#55 project site. Two temporary poles would need to be installed, and each pole will require a guy wire. The installation
of the guy wires will impact wetlands, resulting in a total of 300 sq. ft. of temporary hand clearing.

Each guy wire will require hand clearing an area 6' wide by 25' long in the understory of the wetlands. The areas are
shown in the attached photos. The guy wires will be placed in a manner that will not impact any mature trees in the
wetlands, only impacting the understory of the flooded swamp. Mats will be used in the wetland area of the maintained
utility corridor to move the auger truck into position for pole and guy wire installation. The auger arm of the truck will
reach into the hand cleared areas from the maintained corridor to install the anchors for the guy wires. After bridge
1

construction, the power line will be relocated to its original alignment and the temporary poles and guy wires will be
removed. The hand cleared areas for the guy wires will not be maintained.

The attached revised permit drawing includes the 300 sq. ft. of temporary hand clearing for the guy wires and the
temporary poles.

Please let me know if there is any additional information you need, or any questions you may have about the request.
